"Beyond his policies and actions, history will take the measure of the man."
Yes, even to this day there are Bush Bots running around in a grand delusion that Bush is some how a great and fearless leader. Just read this little ditty by a Bush bot in my work environment, he prasies shurb like some kind of eternal idol. :puke:

You mean "Bush will always be in the bottom 1%, based on the liberal media". Mark my words you will be eating your words in years to come. President Bush will be viewed as a far-sighted leader who confronted the key test of the 21st century. He will be judged as a man of moral clarity who put America on wartime footing in the dangerous struggle against radical Islamic terrorism. Following the horrors of 9/11, this president changed American foreign policy by declaring terror sponsors responsible for the deeds of those they shelter, train, and fund. America, he said, will not wait until dangers fully materialize with attacks on our homeland before confronting those threats. The president gave the nation new tools to defeat terrorism abroad and protect our citizens at home with the Patriot Act, foreign surveillance that works in the wireless age, a transformed intelligence community, and the Department of Homeland Security. And this president saw the wisdom of removing terrorism’s cause by advocating the spread of democracy, especially in the Muslim world, where authoritarianism and repression have provided a potent growth medium for despair and anger aimed at the West. He recognized that democracy there makes us safer here. In the years since taxes were last cut in 2003, the U.S. economy has grown 13 percent in real dollars. That additional growth is larger than the entire size of the Canadian economy. This president also understands our standard of living depends on selling to the globe. The 14 nations with which we have implemented free agreements represent 7.5 percent of the world’s GDP, but 43 percent of our exports. The growing number of free-trade agreements concluded and signed under this president helps explain why American exports have risen 27 percent between 2004 and 2006, creating jobs and prosperity here at home. The outcome in Iraq and Afghanistan will color how history views the president. History’s concern is with final outcomes, not the missteps or advances of the moment. History will render a favorable verdict if the outcome in the Middle East is similar to what America saw after World War II. America’s persistence in Europe and Asia after that war helped Germany and Japan become democracies and allies in the struggle against Communism. If something similar happens in Iraq and Afghanistan, it will change the region and the world. For the first time, millions of citizens across the Middle East will see a working model of freedom in their region — and it will give them hope for a better future for their children by making America safer for them. If the outcome in the Middle East is like what happened in Vietnam after America abandoned our allies and the region descended into chaos, violence, and danger, history’s judgment will be harsh. History will see President Bush as right, and the opponents of his policy as mistaken — as George McGovern was in his time.

Beyond his policies and actions, history will take the measure of the man.

Furthermore, I think his legacy will become even more positive in (his favor) if a Democrat gets into office this year. BTW speaking of "state of enchanted delusion" your girl Nancy seems to have done a great job of overhauling the government. It seems she has changed the menu in the cafeteria and get this, remodeled the place too. What fucking end rows I tell ya!! Now that's history, you go girl. I'm sure we could expect more of the same style of major house keeping from Hillary.

All that crap was in response to this:

Anti-Bush Campaign Planned
By JIM KUHNHENN | Associated Press Writer
12:34 PM EST, January 24, 2008
WASHINGTON - A liberal advocacy group plans to spend $8.5 million in a drive to ensure that President Bush's public approval doesn't improve as his days in the White House come to an end.



They couldn't stand for Bush getting any good press.
Remember Reagan, his approval numbers fell to the low 40's at one point and went up to the mid 60's by the time he left office.
I told you before Mike, make jokes all you want, Bush will go down in history as one of the great ones!!.

1. If the past is instructive of the future ...
Paul Revere did not shout the famous phrase attributed to him.

Or What about the campaign to rename everything Raygun? How do you explain the contradiction of Raygun being a terrible pResident, yet, airports and government buildings are named for him?

School textbooks will shape future Americans, our current day students' perceptions of history.

:shrug:

2. He'll be right there alongside Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mussolini, and
the rest of the psychopathic mass murderers of our time.
